Any computer retail site will sell laptops HDD's. www.zipzoomfly.com is a site I use exclusively but there are many others.

That's standard laptop hdd specs. May I ask why are you planning to upgrade since you already have a good enough hdd? Rotation speed isn't all that matters - a 100GB 5400rpm is about equal to 60GB 7200rpm because of it's higher density. The other important factor's the buffer size - 8MB is plenty big.

that is true but also look at the average seek time.
